Spinelli realizes Maxie left the apartment and leaves her a message that she's making a big mistake. Ellie comes home and expects that Maxie went to get Connie. She's sorry to hear the court order was denied and stops Spinelli from going after Maxie. He needs to divorce himself from Maxie's actions to show he's a viable parent. Spinelli thanks her. She apologizes, wishing she told him the truth before Connie was born. It means something to Spinelli, he remembers the Ellie he fell in love with, but he can't let what happened go. She thinks he can let it go if he forgives her but she'll go if he needs space. He doesn't. They both love each other and kiss.

Maxie confronts Lulu at the Falconeri's for claiming she's an unfit mother. Lulu argues that Connie is as much her baby as if she had given birth. Maxie understands but this isn't fair. Lulu blames Maxie. Lulu was the one who prepared for Connie. She's more responsible than Maxie who killed a baby on New Year's Eve. Maxie's hurt and sorry for Lulu's loss, but it doesn't mean she can take her baby. Lulu will do anything to protect Connie from her, even airing her dirty laundry in court. Maxie knows all of Lulu's dirty secrets too. Lulu will see her in court.

Dante talks to Connie at the pier and warns her that things might get a little ugly since everyone loves her so much. Olivia arrives and wants to talk about who's going after Sonny. Dante's interested but Connie fusses. Dante thinks she's stressed over the custody fight. Olivia wonders if they can win. Dante doesn't think so unless they fight dirty. He's concerned about how it will affect Maxie and Lulu; they're like sisters. There's nothing to do but wait. He asks who's going after Sonny. She lies and asks him to keep an eye out. Sonny can take care of himself.

Shawn finds Sonny reviewing the file on Julian at the warehouse. Sonny confirms they have proof. Julian Jerome is alive and well, going by the name of Derek Wells. He remembers the Jerome family as being sloppy when unnerved and decides to call Derek to unnerve him.

At the penthouse, Ava argues with Derek that getting Morgan involved is not a good idea. He's ready to let Morgan prove himself. They'll hit Sonny where he lives. Derek tries to toast their successes but Ava guzzles her bourbon down. He goes to get another when Carly arrives. She refuses to leave without Morgan who's not there. She's surprised when Derek joins them with a drink and wants to know where all 'this art' is that he's supposedly buying. Derek's interrupted by a phone call from Sonny requesting they meet. Alone, Carly thinks Derek left in a hurry as if he didn't want her to see them together. She threatens to tell Morgan that Ava's sleeping with Derek. Morgan knows where he stands and has no problem with Derek. Ava thinks Carly's upset that she stole her son and boyfriend. Morgan lets himself in and laughs when Carly tells him Ava's sleeping with Derek. She promises to wipe Ava's smirk off her face soon.

Derek and his bodyguard show up at the warehouse. Sonny explains that his new enemies are causing trouble. Derek wonders what it has to do with him. Sonny's not an expert but Derek should come to him for a quote if he's going to report on his business. Derek's listening. Sonny can give him the name of the person who ordered the hit – Julian Jerome. Derek heard Julian Jerome is dead but Sonny thinks he could sell a lot of papers if he prints that he's alive…unless there's a reason he doesn't want to print it. Derek won't print the story without a second source. He wouldn't want to be sued by Julian Jerome if the story is false. Sonny knows if it's false, then Julian's a dead man and he'll find who's going after him.

Derek returns to the penthouse and asks Morgan if he got the job done. He did. The watch with the bug on it is in Sonny's office.

Sonny asks Michael what's wrong at the restaurant. Morgan was there returning the watch.

USER COMMENTS

Sonny played things smooth with Dereck. Gee just love looking at Sonnys face.:)

Carly more then ever will figure out who this Dereck guy is. She knows Ava is up to something. I wish Morgan could trust his mom. Now will Sonny spot the watch. I kept yelling BREAK it Sonny.

Thanks all for the information on Maxie's misdeeds. There isn't anything really earth shattering there.I guess we'll have to wait for the court scenes.

OT I'd also like to wish everyone a fun and safe Halloween. I'm really looking forward to actually welcoming trick or treaters on the actual night. We've had it postponed forvthe last two years due to hurricane Sandy last year and 27 inches of snow the year before that. Thankfully our forecast is for a calm warm night near 60.

Bayoubtr – As a simple, unfrozen caveman, I am offended by any comparisons of my people to Moron. As any respectable paleontologist will surely tell you, he's obviously a neanderthal, thank you very much. Those guys are ALL morons! They all have HUGE feet (and did you get a load of those boats on Moron today?), they're incredibly hairy, and they never wear clothes. Plus they stink, and all they do is eat, sleep, and bang anything that's handy. See the resemblance?

SPOILER-FREE SPECULATION:

Shawn told Sonny he arranged for another shipment to come early to replace their lost stock. I expect Ick will hear them discussing the details about it over the bug, and send Carrllos to hit that one too. Since Sonny and Shawn will be the only ones who knew when and where the shipment was due, and where they talked about it, they'll realize his office has been bugged and sweep the place. When Sonny finds the bug in Mike's clock, it will break his heart because he'll know his youngest son has betrayed him, but he won't say anything so as not to tip his hand that he knows about the bug. He'll use it to set Ick up, and arrange for Moron to be there when he springs his trap. That's when Moron will have another choice to make.

Just watch. I'll bet a desperate Nulu will say “Maxie caused the accident that killed her cousin, Robin!” in court, and just then Robin will poke her head in the door and say “No she didn't!” on her way to the next courtroom to stop Patrick from marrying Saboring. She always was a good multi-tasker.

There are so many s/L's going on, I forget many of them. Have they stopped investigating Connie's murder or did we ever find out why Jason and Bernie we're killed? Why did Fasion want Bernie dead? Have Ava or Carly even mentioned to Kiki or Morgan about going back to school? There is little to none continuity to these s/L's.

Tipsy - I have a bad feeling about the watch, I too hope Sonny catches on, but I doubt he will.

Hi bayou

**off topic **

Lily- once the word is out that you have the good stuff, you will be bombarded with little goblins and princesses. Looks like extremely stormy weather here in CHI-Town. I'm planning a small gathering of kids and parents in the neighborhood.

Cynic - haven't seen you post recently,hope all is well with you.

Scrimmage - I can see all of that happening, just the way you're predicting.

As I said earlier, I'm glad Spinelli and Ellie are back together, and there are a couple of reasons why. I know a lot of posters think Spinelli and Maxie are meant to be together, but I disagree. Like Lucky and Elizabeth, they love each other, but they have a toxic relationship which stunts Spinelli's self-confidence and his personal growth, and also encourages Maxie to take him for granted and manipulate him, even if she's not doing it consciously. She's also prone to cheating on him whenever a new, hot, bad boy is around, which brings me to my second point.

My other reason is that with Spinelli spoken for, that leaves Maxie available for Johnny Z, if and when he ever gets out of prison. Surely these two real life, soon-to-be parents would relish the opportunity to work together again, especially if their little girl (if that's what they have) eventually ends up playing Spixie. Wouldn't that be fun? Of course, unless they have twins, which are needed to play an infant on the show, that would have to wait a few years, but that's okay.

Back when he was supposedly Lulu's boyfriend, there have been few couples that had the chemistry that I saw between Johnny and Maxie who never ended up together, plot wise. This could be their chance to rectify that obvious mistake, and give us a REAL hot couple, both on and off screen. With apologies to Chad Duell (Michael) and Kristen Alderson (Kinky), whatever they've got going in real life besides an obvious sexual attraction, doesn't seem to translate on screen. I mean, they look good together, but so what? So do Patrick and Sam, but that doesn't mean TPTB should pair them up.

Who's up for MaxZie?

Poodles – Faison (as Fake Duke) threatened to kill Bernie's family if he didn't transfer most of Sonny's holdings to Nuke, so that Joe Scummy Jr's son, LeDouche would inherit it after he married Nuke and Scummy killed her.

Yes, it was THAT stupid of a plan.

When it failed (naturally), Bernie couldn't take the guilt anymore, and was going to tell Jason everything, so Faizy sent Scummy to shut Bernie up permanently, and followed him to tie up loose ends by killing Scummy too, as soon as he finished the job. Jason showed up too late to stop Bernie from being killed, and wounded Scummy for Faison, who returned the favor by shooting Jason in the back, then finishing off Scummy, and finally shoving Jason into the harbor like so much garbage.

Really? Forget all the stuff Maxie has done....Just bring in the grandfathers. Luke drove drunk and killed little Jake. Sonny is a mobster who shot his son (Dante, who wants to be the father of Connie) in the chest and almost killed him. By all means...Let them be grandfathers to Connie.
